choose to be ensnared

from cheek and be free

This for me is detachment. I will not want what I can not have. The price of bread and milk are slaying my pocketbook, let alone taxes. Oil prices are dropping, yet it still cost me twice as much to run my car to work. Where are the huge profits of big oil and big banks going? 1.50 to take out MY OWN money? Oh my…I’ve been biting my tongue and am now prone to ramble. Steve, I could have written a book here, but I’ll just leave it at my rant. An awesome pen!

well said Steve, many of us are struggling. I do have the essentials to be grateful for but anything additional my pocket is empty. I’m with Natasha on where is our relief? Gas and food are kicking me further down in the poor house. 😦
